THE CASE IH PUMA 260 CVX AND CASE IH OPTUM 340CVX SHORTLISTED FOR INDUSTRY AWARD

The new Case IH Optum 340 CVXDrive and Puma 260 CVXDrive have been shortlisted for a Farm Machine 2024 Award at Agritechnica.  Both of these are available to hire from ASHBROOK for the 2024 season.  But hurry, availability is limited due to the popularity of these machines.

The Farm Machine 2024 award spotlights products from across the industry shining a light on those that bring the most potential productivity advantages to prospective owners.  The Case IH Optum 340 CVXDrive and Puma 260 CVXDrive are finalists in the high horsepower and mid-range respectively.

To further underline the engineering and design prowess of Case IH, they have 5 entries in a field of just 35 shortlisted entries across the 12 machine categories- quite an achievement and more than any other brand.  With the Case IH Quadtrac 715, Farmall 75C Electric and Axial-Flow 160 series also nominated in various categories.

The winners will be announced on November 14 at Agritechnica 2023 in Hanover, Germany.

In addition, all machines are nominated for the Audience Choice Award. Voting for this award is possible here and will start from October 9th until November 11th, 2023. Everyone can vote for their favourite product once per day within this period.

Micro Romangnoli, Vice President Case IH & STEYR, Europe says, “we’re incredibly proud to wear the Case IH logo on our chests, and even more proud to show off our products in this forum.  The nominations for this award across categories and product lines show just how versatile and valuable the Case IH brand is for farmers not only in Europe but around the globe. We are here to give farmers the tools to optimize their operations at every level, and these product innovations are part of that ongoing commitment.”

Why the Optum 340 CVXDrive and Puma 260 CVXDrive were nominated for the Farm Machine Awards 2024.

Optum 340 CVX Drive: Retaining the good power-to-weight design of previous models, this machine delivers up to 340hp for greater performance, productivity and efficiency. For extended versatility and compatibility, ISOBUS Class 3 is upgraded allowing for certified implements to control specific tractor functions automatically.

Puma 260 CVX Drive with AFS Connect: Sporting a brand-new cab design bringing optimal comfort and ease-of-use for every operator, including 8% more volume for extra leg and headroom. Reduction in noise levels of 66db and 11% more glass coverage for additional vision and safety.

Romagnoli concludes, “I’m excited to see how everyone shows their passion for Case IH by voting for these awards.  Our products are proof of the commitment we have to the farmers we serve – and these products in particular not only deserve the spotlight they’re in right now but are just another example of what Case IH stands for.”
